The movie, as with most movies, will deviate or adjust from the book to the big screen.
The basic premise is of a boy who grows up as the orphan nephew of a family that does not believe in magic, only to find that he is a famous wizard. How will he manage his situation and interact with new friends?
The movie itself, as with all movies, would have to be a mini-series to incorporate all the nuances of the book. However, this movie does an excellent job of selection and gives the overall feel of the story.
Naturally, by comparing and contrasting this story with others in its genre, you will always find a better or a favorite. This in no way diminishes the excellent story and the cohesiveness of the movie.
They chose good actors who will carry us through the series of Potter movies and beyond.
